Grilled Guacamole

Classic guacamole is well and good—great, in fact—but since the grill has been in heavy rotation already this summer, meaning it’s primed and seasoned, throw that guac on the grill, too.

No, you don’t sit your bowl of garlic-y green goo on the grill grates. No, you don’t shape it into discs and grill it like crab cakes. To get that smoky flavor into a dip that will still be both bright and buttery, you char each of the components—avocado, onion, garlic, and jalapeño pepper—and then mix them together.
